GOING: G

Race 12 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Loads of early pressure, primarily from Longing Nice, Smile More and Hermosa Mio. LONGING NICE (9) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in second over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HERMOSA MIO (8) is a five-time winner who has been racing in great heart, beaten 2.25 lengths into third last time out over 1650m at this track. Rates highly and should be in the mix. MEINER BOMBER (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1600m at this track. Can improve. UN TRESOR (2) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1600m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
